At the public meeting at Mannargudi in Tiruvarur marking the birth centenary celebrations of AIADMK founder MG Ramachandran, Divaharan declared Apollo Hospitals delayed the announcement by a day due to safety reasons. 'Jayalalithaa breathed her last exactly at 5.15 pm on December 4th, 2016. I went to the hospital the same night upon knowing the news. Jaya was still kept on ventilator. When I enquired with Apollo Hospitals founder Prathap C Reddy, He told Me that the death of CM can be declared only after ensuring the safety and security of the hospital,' he said.
Apollo Hospitals, however, condemned the claims of Divaharan - 'It's unfortunate that unnecessary confusion is being created based on certain misinformation about the date and time of the demise of our former chief minister Selvi J Jayalalithaa, who had expired on December 5, 2016'.
